- - quotes

I want to make my l i f e, not just my job, the b e s t it can be.

I do like the fact that fans think I'm a s w e e t girl. They'll run up to me and want to talk, but not about me.
It's about t h e m. They want to tell me their life stories or what they had for dinner last night...

Parenthood puts your life into p e r s p e c t i v e. It's given me harmony and security.
I could lose my job and still raise a child and feel f u l f i l l e d.

Creating a cultural icon out of someone who goes, 'I'm stupid, isn't it c u t e?' makes me want to throw daggers.
I want to say to them, 'My grandma did not fight for what she fought for just so you can start telling women it's fun to be stupid.
Saying that to young women, little girls, my daughter? It's n o t okay.'

There is, like, a big difference between boys and girls. They're so different.
Like even tonight, I was leaving the hotel and my son — he has this really quick temper —
and I said, 'I have to go to work.' He went, 'Mleh!' and threw his truck at me and Ava goes, 'Now, Deacon...
Mommy has to go to work, so she can make money, so she can pay the bills...
so you can keep your p i l l o w and your b l a n k e t.'

At the end of the day, I don't believe I truly know all of people's motivation and I don't want to be responsible for them either.
That said, I have very s t r o n g political ideas — I think we all should — I just choose to keep them p r i v a t e.

Thanks for stopping by!

I just want to say, I've been with this board since the beginning, and I've been a moderator of several boards over the years... and this board is undeniably my favorite. I adore the girls I've come to know because of this board, and it's always been such a positive, fun place to chat about an actress we all love.

Whatever happens in the future, I'm proud this board has thrived for as long as it has and has reached 100,000. It's a big deal for a small, close-knit board like Reese's.

YAY REESE BOARD! Thanks for all the love girls.

Linds, thank you so much for the beautiful post.

I love ya, co-mod.

Also to echo what Linds said, I love this board so much that I really can't express it. I too have been mod of a few different boards over the years and while I love them as well, this one holds a special place in my heart. I am so happy & proud to reach this milestone...this board, and the amazing girls that post hear, are my "home" here.
